God is Good

Well we got back from SD in good shape.  Had a great time.  It is good to be retired.  I can get up and drink coffee in the morning.  We can go into town and eat at a restaurant in the evening every once in a while.  God has provided money to live in a nice motorhome and keep the maintenance up.  He has given us good health,even better than some.  We have 4 loving churches we consider our home and many good friends.  We can witness for The Lord as He brings opportunities to us.  We have met many, many good friends while traveling. Most of the people we meet are just like us. Most are fed up with obama and his government beauracy.  I pray we can have a change this fall in our leadership.  I know He is in charge.  I have a great wife and companion to share the road with.  Will until He calls me home.  Great kids and grandkids.  Not much more a man can ask for ! Just remember.  The best things in life are not things !!  SEEYALATERALLIGATOR.

Well.  We have finally arrived in Loveland , Co. and are set up for the summer.  It is getting harder to get things done.  Boy am I tired and sore.  Looks like arthritus strength tylenol tonight.  We have  had fun and will continue to visit old friends and see new things.  In about  two weeks we are driving to Custer SD. to seeall of the STUFF around there.  Will be sure to see Mt. Rushmore.  Am looking forward to that.Sure is a lot of smoke from the Ft. Collins fire.  I don't like forrest fires.  Well better close for now

Colorado bound

Well, our time here in Dodge Cityy is about over for the Summer.  We leave next Sat. for Ellsworth,Ks. to visit our son and his family.  We will be there for two days and then leave for Loveland, Co. for the summer.  We have planned a side trip to Custer, SD for this summer.  We will take the car.  Should be fun.  Have never seen Mt. Rushmmore  . We enjoy staying in Loveland with several friends who come back every summer.  Besides, it is a lot cooler than South Texas.  Well.  Better go for now.  Yall can follow us on our FB sites for current updates.  SEEYALATERALLIGATOR !!

Bluebonnet Trail and Adventure

Well today we have three weeks left in Victoria before we start the trip back to Colorado for the summer.  We went on a cross country trip looking for flowers and had quite an adventure.  Cross country, navigating like Billie's Dad does.  What an adventure.  We saw bukuu flowers and had a reward at the end.  Great meal at Bubba's in Sea Drift.  Ended up the day swimming and relaxing in the hot tub at the RV park.  You can follow our trip in our Facebook page.

New Year

Well.  The new year is here again.  Where did the last year go??  Went so fast.  Every year goes by faster !!!!  Or so it seems.  We had a great time being with family this last Christmas.  It was  pretty cold, though.  We both got sick.  Not used to the cold anymore.  Even had to buy coats,hats and gloves.  I am glad to be back in Victoria.  My daily wardrobe is shorts and tee shirt.  Beautiful winter weather.  Today we go to the retirement party for a good friend, John Legg.  I am happy for both of them.  Dottie, his wife, will be surprised having him home.  They will have a great time.  Billie and I have loved being retired and on the road, even if we don't have a lot of money.  We get by on what we have. Isn't that the way is has always been? John makes custom Golf putters and they both go on the road together selling them.  What fun.  We love meeting new friends at the RV parks where we stay.  Retirees in these parks are just like us.  Scarry thought, I know.  Well time to sign off for now.  Just remember, life is uncertain,eat dessert first. ;) ;)  SEEYALATERALLIGATOR !!!!!!!

Merry Christmas

We have been in Dodge City since Sunday the 18th.  Monday we had a bit of a blizzard here in Dodge.  Not as bad as just west and North of us in Scott City, Ks.  They had about 18 inches of snow with winds up to 35-40 MPH. 

Monday night our daughter Melanie and her tow children-Kylee and Tucker- came over to our daughter Mishcelle's--where we are staying--just in case the electricity went out. Mischelle has a generator.  We had so much fun!! Mischelle made three different kinds of fudge.  YUMMMMM!!!!!!! And we played a new word came Appleletters. This was fun.

Tuesday---Melanie, Kylee, Tucker and I made sugar cookies while Mischelle was at work.  After supper we all worked at decorating the cookies we baked.  What fun!!!!

LOVE, LOVE this time of year spent with family.

Mr and Mrs Claus also made an appearance.

Lydell's shirt says, "Does this shirt make me look fat?"

Wishing you all a very Merry CHRISTmas and a Blessed New Year!

Merry Christmas

We are still in Amarillo for Christmas with Billie's folks.  We have had a good time.  I think we are going to see the new Sherlock Holms movie with Robert and Patsy when it comes out.  Will probably go to Dodge City this weekend for Christmas with the kids.  It will probably be colder there.   That 60-70 deg. weather in Victorial sure looks good now.  Hope we don't have any ice or snow on the way up to DC.  Will post more later.  I hate to run-on so.  SEEYALATERALLIGATOR !!
